Suspect arrested following fatal stabbing See Main Advert on page 30-31
A manhunt got underway at the weekend after a young British man was stabbed to death in Quesada late
on Thursday night. A young man, named in British media as Ben Nesbitt from Southport, was stabbed to death following a fight at an address on an urbanisation in Ciudad Quesada. The victim, thought to be 22 years old was found in the street at around 3am with fatal stab wounds to the neck. It is thought he ran outside to try and find help, but collapsed as a result of his wounds and died at the scene. Sources believe that the victim and his attacker had both been invited to a party at the house with their partners. An argument broke out which resulted in a fight, leading to
the fatal stabbing. The suspect is alleged to have fled the scene, prompting the Guardia Civil to launch a manhunt. Over the weekend, locals were asked to be on the lookout for a black BMW 520D Sport with a British registration number in connection with the crime. Members of the public were advised not to approach the car but to report its whereabouts to police. News emerged on Monday that the car and driver had been apprehended at the weekend in Girona where it is believed he was caught en route out of Spain, in an apparent attempt to escape the country.
